Filipe Teixeria has been ruled out for the rest of the season after scans revealed cruciate ligament damage on his left knee. The summer signing is now expected to be out for a minimum of six months.


"We're obviously really disappointed for Filipe," Tony Mowbray said.


"He is going to travel back to Portugal to get a second opinion but it looks like he will need reconstruction surgery.


"He's expected to be out for a minimum of six months and it's a big loss to the football club.


"We'll now try to make his rehab go as smoothly as possible."
